Nested properties visible when selecting parent frame

Am I missing something? If I frame two instances/add auto layout, is there any way to expose the properties from the instances in the sidebar when I select that frame? I’m using the Selection variants plugin which is super nice to have, but would prefer to not have to launch a plugin for this. Also, relying on other designers being aware of this when handling my files isn’t optimal.

Interactions auto-ordering

Hi, I am making sets of components with 3 or more interactions with it and I most of the time need to recall or memorize what I have done to the set of interactions in my first component. See attached image I would like to express my idea regarding the component interactions of having an auto-ordering by default and it’s up to the users if they want to rearrange it base on their goals. Like, if I add another interaction, it will automatically insert where the interaction be placed. Additionally, it also need to have a reset button to get back to the default setting. I hope this will be noticed. Thank you in advance!

Allow corner radius input 4, comma separated values

I’ve never understood why the border-radius input in Figma never accepted multiple comma separated values for uneven corner radius like the auto layout spacing fields do, makes sense to me to allow for that instead of having to open another pane to do it. It could work exactly as the old auto-layout spacing fields used to when they accepted 4 values in one field, following CSS multi value logic of clock-wise direction: [value1: top left], [value 2: top right], [value 3: bottom right], [value 4: bottom left] I Understand it then makes that smooth corners setting rather lonely in the pane then, but I would appreciate little speed boosts like this. What do you think?

Figma Slides: Variables Menu

Managing local variables is pretty cumbersome and buried in menus. Bringing over the variable window found in Figma, would be big help in managing local variables.

Auto generate sitemap from Figma prototype

Problem: Figma pages that were created to generate a prototype can be confusing for engineers and fellow designers. We sometimes get away with cleaning up the pages and labeling the frames, but that doesn’t always do the job especially for more complex flows. So we end up creating a separate page for our engineers which looks more like a sitemap with arrows for navigation. Solution: Have Figma auto generate a flat flow (sitemap) from the prototype. So it would take a prototype and create a new Figma page that has all the interactions of the prototype layed out in separate frames. They should be well organized frames of all the screens and interactions like popup modals, flyouts, all linked with arrows that can be labelled by the designers.

Spread option should be enabled regardless of shape in the drop shadow effect

The spread option allows us to play with the drop shadow effect in creating cool effects. It’s a shame that this option is restricted unless specific conditions are met with the vector shape. Why not just have it always enabled regardless of the vector shape? It’s limiting when you have a desired effect in mind and you can’t use this option, AND it’s frustrating when you can’t figure out why it’s disabled in the first place. I know there are certain conditions like the shape should be a rectangle or a circle or that there’s something to do with the clipping option for frames. This thread is not for asking how to enable the spread option, but instead suggesting to have it enabled at all times. Please fix this 🙂

Fixing the Issue with Figma Components Breaking in FigJam and Improving Usability on iPad

I believe that bringing Figma-designed components into FigJam for board work is a key feature that ensures fluidity between Figma and FigJam. This is undoubtedly a competitive and unique feature of FigJam compared to other whiteboard-based programs. However, while using Figma components in FigJam on a PC is generally smooth, issues arise when opening FigJam files with these components on an iPad: When moving the entire FigJam content or creating sections on the iPad, the fonts of the components get corrupted. Not only do the fonts get corrupted, but occasionally Auto Layout arrangements also break. The issue affects not just one component but all components within the FigJam file, including thumbnails. This is not a one-off bug; I have already reached out to the support team about it, but was informed that it is considered a limitation of the current feature. I was also told that posting on the forum might make the development team aware of the issue. I believe that utilizing compone

Breakpoints

I have been learning about auto layout for the past few days and understand that breakpoints allow you to create a more responsive layout. I was trying to implement that until I noticed when it was time to transition from the mobile design to the tablet design, the header’s design got distorted. I don’t know if I didn’t use the correct auto layout method which has caused this issue that I can’t solve or if it is the breakpoints method that I am still trying to learn. The first upload is how it looks when I stretch or make the frame wider to become a tablet size. The second upload i show it should appear (auto layout and breakpoints aren’t incorporated on the second one but this is how it should look).

Create "Files Shared with Me" view

Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this Today I have to save the emails inviting me to a file, there is no place to see all files shared with me. Recent doesn’t save the list, just shows what was recently accessed. I believe the problem is felt most when the person is sharing a file from their Drafts, as opposed to something that has been published that can be searched for and found in Figma. Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.) Microsoft Office/Google has a feature which enables users to see all the files shared with them for easy access. Ask questions to bring the community into the conversation (e.g. Does anyone else experience this? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?, etc. Is there a work around to saving the links to shared files? Sometimes it’s not even an email but a link someone is sending via chat message. Seems plugin can’t solve for this as it’s above the file level. Was thin

Possibility to export assets as .eps

To enhance the workflow between Figma and After Effects, it would be great to be able to save Figma Assets as .eps files since After Effects does not support .svg, which cause an extra work step - firstly saving .svgs and converting them as .eps or .ai. I have tried using AEUX Plugin as well to bring the Figma Assets into After Effects. It is great for small scenes. However, for the bigger compositions, it does not yet work properly - as a result Figma either crashes, or there are too many precomps produced in After Effects, which is not the most optimal way to animate objects. Therefore, to enhance the workflow between Figma and After Effects and still have the possibility to manually arrange scenes in After Effects, it would be great to have an opportunity to export assets as .eps. This will save an extra work step of converting .svg files. Thanks a lot!

Layer Management in Figma Slides

Why is there no view for managing layers in Figma Slides? Maybe there is, but it’s tough to find. I suppose I was expecting a layers panel on the left somewhere, where I could flip between seeing my slides and the layers. Without it, we’re losing a key reason of why Figma Slides would be a better alternative than using Google Slides.

Add Connector Lines to Design files

Currently, if you copy + paste a figjam flow into a Design file, the Connector Lines stay fully functional – they stretch and adapt as you move their origins and destinations around the canvas, and you can move their origins and destinations to your frames, components, etc. I’ve been using this to show user flows within my UI designs, not only for ease of sharing with other teammates (no need to give in-depth walkthroughs), but also for easily identifying missing states within a flow. It would be great if a) the Connector Line was added as a tool to Figma Design, or b) basic lines and pen vectors had the option to act as connector lines – attaching to anchor points on objects and components, scaling when the endpoints were moved, and able to be adjusted with mid-line handles.

Rebrand-Friendly Design System - View & Overwrite Remote/Library Variables

As a design system owner, I want to enable other users to easily rebrand the design system without having to duplicate the entire library file just to modify variables. By allowing users to view all remote/library variables and create local ones to overwrite them as needed, we can maintain a single, consistent design system as the base, greatly improving future maintainability. Proposed Solution: A simple addition to the interface could look like this: With this menu entry, users would be able to easily view ‘Remote/Library Variables’. The values displayed would be ‘muted’, but users would have the option to click on them and set different values using the default color picker: Once this feature is implemented, users would only see the variables they own under ‘Local Variables’, making the rebranding process much smoother and more intuitive. Thank you for considering this enhancement. It would greatly improve the flexibility and usability of design systems within Figma.

Music for co-creating in Figma and FigJam

When using figjam for retros & other co-creation workshops it’d be very useful to have an integration with streaming platforms like Spotify or Youtube. Nowadays, we use google meets or slack for online workshops instead of using figjam’s conversations; there, we can share music through the “present tab” feature.

Why not just create a 5th variable type? Color, Number, String, Boolean, +Percentage+

I’m sure a lot of people know if they want px-based or a percent-based values to adjust their line height and letter spacing. If “Percentage” was a variable option, then I’d just have chosen it the first time set up all my typography variables for letter spacing. I was surprised when I applied the variables that I carefully planned out to my text and it didn’t space the text as I expected. So, why can’t Figma just introduce a fifth type of variable option that is just for specific percentages when you click “+ Create variable”??

It would be nice to have a feature to record certain actions (size, gaps etc) and apply that multiple times. This is required as multi-layer selection does not support such a scenario.

Interactions Panel - resize & copy/paste

It would be beneficial if Figma included the option to enlarge the interactions panel. Reading all the conditional and variable interactions within the small preset frame size can be challenging. Enabling users to expand the panel size, similar to the way the variables frame can be expanded, would make it easier for users to review the interactions they have set. Being able to copy interaction would be extremely helpful and reduce redundant work

Find and swap all instances of the component

Sometimes updating the component is not an option: At times one needs to change the control/component so much that I will break existing screens and views. Or you rely on community files to build your UI and you need to take in updates from a newer version of the file. So you duplicate the newer file, enable it in the Assets, and need to use the different version from now on. At this point, there is no way to reliable track down all instances of the component and weeding them out is a hassle. My workaround is for the color deprecated main component to some weird acid green color to make them stand out. This makes the workspace not ready for user testing and presentations for a while and weeding out can take a while. I think there should a better way to deprecate and replace components. Sincerely, Jurijs

Swap nested instance via copy (Cmd+C/Cmd+V) or paste-to-replace

This occurs when I have an instance in my clipboard and I attempt to paste-to-replace an instance inside another instance. It’d be great to be able to use the paste-to-replace keyboard shortcut to swap instances, rather than going through the hassle of selecting the nested instance and swapping it for another through the properties panel.
